A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team;

handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :

I switched when I got tired of not having ad blockers on mobile. Best decision ever. The Internet can be unusable without it.

I never used Chrome. happy user of Firefox since it's conception.

I do most browsing on Firefox, but there are some web developers who seem to totally ignore anything but Chrome. Like I sometimes think a site is broken until I try it in Chrome. Anyone else have this issue and have a solution other than using Chrome?

Either spoof the user agent, or... Edge.

I have the same problem, and every Firefox user who claims otherwise it’s just lying. I use brave browser for these instances.
